CALL FOR ABSTRACTS The conservation of immobile stone monuments, structures or objects within traditional buildings present specific conservation challenges as a result of conditions faced by both the internal and external structure. Monuments in Monuments 2019 will examine the interaction and conflicts raised when conserving stone structures in this context and examines whether a holistic conservation approach is possible. The conference is hosted by Historic Environment Scotland at the Building Conservation Centre, the Engine Shed, in Stirling.
